PASTING-TABLE FOR PAPER-HANGERS.

Application filed February 6, 1918.

To all whom t may concern: v

Be it known that I, JAMES S. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Smith, in the county of Sebastian, State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Fasting-Table for Paper-Hangers; and I do hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an improved paper-hangers pasting table, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide a table of this kind for facilitating the unreeling of the rolls of paper, and measuring the slzes of pieces to be cut.

A further object of the invention is to provide a pasting table, which is easily and conveniently collapsible, whereby the same may be stored in a compact small compass.

A further object of the invention is to provide a table of this kind, which is adjustable for facilitating the support of wall paper of different widths.

In practical fields the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts as hereinafter set forth shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the improved paper hangers pasting table constructed in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a. longitudinal sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. l.

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional View on line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is an end elevation of one end of the table.

Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 designates the top board or table top, which comprises the two sections 2 and 3, their longitudinal adjacent edges being hingedly connected as at 4, so that said sections may be folded one upon the other in a small compass. The under faces of said sections near the opposite ends of the table top are provided with transversely arranged depressions or sockets 5 to be engaged by the extension dowels 6 of the upper end of the legs 7 thereby holding the legs rigid and Specification of Letters Patent.

supporting the table top. The legs 7 are provided with lateral extension members 8 rectangular in cross section, and arranged Linder the table top and spaced therefrom and between the legs is a rectangular frame 9. This frame 9 comprises the longitudinal side bars 10 and the end pieces 11. These end pieces 11 each consist of overlapping' sections 12. Where these sections 12 overlap, they have their adjacent portions cutaway as shown at 13, there being registering slots 14, to receive the bolts l5, to hold the end sections in different adjusted positions, according to the width of paper to be supported, and finally applied with paste. The table top is not designed to be extended or made wider. In other words the table top is of its maximum width; but owing to the several transversely arranged depressions or sockets 5, the legs may be adjusted so that the pins 6 may engage any of the sockets so that the legs may be arranged closer or farther apart particularly since the sections 12 are eXtensible. Furthermore when the legs are arranged closer together, shorter rolls may be employed according to the different widths of paper to be hung. The end sections 12 are provided with U-shaped grooves 16 and 17. These grooves receive correspondingly shaped tongues 18 and 19 of the plates 20 and 21 respectively, so that the width of the frame 9 may 'be easily adjusted according to the adjustment of the legs 7. The sheet metal plate 20 has a curved portion 22 for the support of a roll of wall paper 23, and hinged at 24 to the curved part 22 is a curved cover part 25, to arch over the roll of wall paper, to retain the same in place. A supporting cord, wire, or the like 26 has one end attached at 27 to the plate 21, and is passed back and forth through and from the apertures 28 of said plates 20 and 21 and has its other end attached at 28 to the plate 20. This cord or wire constitutes means to support the wall paper as it is unreeled from the roll. The longitudinal side bars 10 of the frame 9 have secured to them as at 30 plates 31, which are provided with extension parts 32 having sockets 33, which are rectangular and designed for the reception 'of the extension members 8 of the legs, thereby supporting said frame 9. One of the longitudinal side bars 9 has a guide rod 34 carried thereby, and rockably mounted upon this rod is a hrs.

Se having notches o9, te receive the pini-,les L 3L 'xf o n Y l fiii i arcs o lrie secure(L u O of the roller ill. :j

one to one end of each section of the table top. rThese plates have ears 1li, to receive the pintles i5 of the roller 116. i suitable rod l? has at one end a unive sal connection as aiv e8 to a. plate 1&9, which is secured et 5() to one of the ends of one of the sections of table top, near 'the longitudinal edge of the top. The other end of rod l? has rigrt angle end portion 51, Whereb;7 the rod rnay be inanipulated. i heavy steel wire bail has its end portions 53 pivotally mounted in the arched plates 5e of tl e under face of the table top, ".vherebji7 this bail ineinber inaj/ Wing downwardly in engagement witn the Wall paper when supported o v the ire or cord 2G tov hold the paper in slice. 'hen'the table is collapserh and the table top folded, the bail nieuiber is svvung u to engage the hook 55, there bei p s ing in the longitudinal part tno nail spring over the hook. @no of longitudinal outer ed'e portions of the section 3 of the table top has a scale 56 in feet, While one of the longitudinal side bars lO of the frame 9 is provided with a similar, scale .5T in feet. the lraine 9 is spaced substantially a foot below the table top, so that the paper passing frein the roli #il to the roll e6 `will approximately in-asure l foot.

in pasting l A l Wall paper, the rolo!` is placed in the curved part F22 the plate 20, the papal is unreeled and arranged alone' the supporting` '1 1 L cord 26, under the roller el, and over the roller lo? after which the Weighted rod el! is placed over the paper to hold the Paine flat and stretched. rlie bail rneinbei is allowed to swing doivnivardli to hold the paper in Contact 'with the coro The nieinber is then moved along its rod, until the length of the piece of paper deV .red is measuredj and then the member is actuated so that the cutting part 36 will nich the paL er, indiber of pieces of paper have been supplied with paste and out.

rlhe invention having been set forth What is claimed as new and useful is:n

l, A paper hangers pasting table, co1nprising a. table top consisting of a pair of longitudinal sections edgeivise hingedly united, f-upporting legs having detachable connections with the table top, and a frame spaced below the top and having detachable connf-ictions` with said legs, a paperroll supporting ineans at one end of said frame, one

` end of said frame and one end of the table top having rollers over which the Wall paper passes, and supporting means connecting` the opposite ends ofrsaiid franie.

2. ln a paper hangers pasting table, a table top, detachable legs therefor, an elongated rectangular franie detachably connected to said legs and being spaced below the top, saitL frame being adjustable transrerscly, a roll paper supporting ineans at one end of the freine, one end of the frame and ono'end of the top having rollers over which the Wall paper passes, and a bail nieinber pivoted to the under part of the top to holo the paper on said frame.

3. ln a lpaper hangers pasting table, a table top, supporting legs adjustable transverscly of the topand being detachably confnected thereto, an elongated rectangular frame detachablyconnected to said legs and spaced beloiv the top, said frame having a pair of sections adjustably connected transversely, a roll paper supporting device having a detachable slide connection With one ond of said frame, one end ofthe frame and one end of the table top having rollers over which the Wall paperpasses to engage the top, Weight one end of the top to enthe paper, and a bail nieinber pivotally suspended freni the top to engage the paper on the franle, and a supporting Wire connecti the opposite ends of the franie.

in testimony whereof lr. have signed myV naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
